I Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 10, 1915;

Application filed December 16, 1913. Serial No. 807,083;

Be it known that 1, CHARLES ing at Fleming, in the county of Logan, 'State of Colorado, have inventedv certain new and useful Improvements in Spool- Holders; and I do hereby declare the fol;

The present invention is directed to im-'- provements in spool holders, and has forits object to provide a device of this character which maybe formed froma single length I of to be moved from engagement with'the of wire. v p

A further object of the invention is to spool may be engaged therewith and removed therefrom and whena spool'is engaged upon the holder the same will bepermitted to unwind as the thread is used;

A still further object of the invention is to provide a spool holder which is exceed- 25 ingly simple in construction and one which i may be manufactured at a minimum cost.

With these and other objects in view, this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formation, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which the figure represents a perspective View of the device.

The holder is formed from a single length of suitable wire, and is so bent asto provide a horizontal bar 1, one end ofwhich termi:

nates in a loop 2, the arms3 of which being closely arranged so as to provide a supporting leg 4.

The loop 2 terminates in an upwardly extending U-shaped member .5, the arm 6 of which terminates in a loop 7 which consti,

tutes a supporting leg 8, said leg being arranged directly opposite the leg 4.

The loop 7 terminates in a horizontal bar 9, which is disposed in spaced parallel relation with the bar 1, said bar terminating in a loop 10 which constitutes a supporting leg 11.

The loop 10 has one of its armstermin'ating in a U-shaped member 12, which is held inspaced relation with respect to the yoke 5 p F. HRAD- ECKY, a citizen of theUnited State's, resid-' by the bars 1 and 9. The arm'13 of the yokelQterminates in a supporting leg 1 the arm offwhich terminates in a horizontal portionjiltl, the inner end of which in a vertical rod 18 which is bent over the bight portion 17 of the member 12 and ter minates in a spindle 19, the free end of which being adapted to rest upon the bight portion of the member 5, and as the holder.

is made of wire the spindle 19 contains suiiicient resiliency to permit the free end theremember 5 so that the spool 20 may be rotatably mounted upon the spindle, and when thefree end of the spindle rests upon the bight portion of the member 5 accidental disengagement of said spool is prevented.

0S0 as tolim'part the proper rigidity to the holder the bar 1 has one of its ends'twisted around the supporting leg 14: as clearly.

shown at 21.

From the foregoing description it is obvious that the holders may be made in dif* ferent sizes for holding spools of different sizes. I i

,What is claimed is A spool holder consists of a single length,

of wire so bent as to provide parallel bars,

1 loops formed adjacent the ends of the bars 4 l to provide supporting legs, said loops having certain of their arms terminating in up wardly extending U-shaped members, one of said loops having anarm extending in a horizontal direction at right angles to the parallel bars, said arm terminating at its inner end in a vertical bar, the upper end of which is bent over the bight portion of a one of the U-sliaped members, and terminates, in a resilient spindle which rests upon the bight portions ofthe U-shaped members and is constructed and arranged to rotatably support the spool, as and for the purpose set forth. I

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
